The burning issue in Brooklyn is the Rev.
DR.. Parker He delivered the Beecher
eulogy, and the Plymouth congregation
lauded him to the skies. They thought the
eulogy was the work of love, but when they
found out that it had been paid for, and
that the sum paid was by no means insig-
nifcant, they began TO pick him
to pieces and to say good many
very uncomplimentary things about him.
He was engaged to preach in Plymouth
church for two Sundays at 500 for each
sermon. He has preached one and has
received his money. 1t is doubtful if he
preach the other. 1t is stated that if he
attempt to, the congregation will make the
situation so warm for him that he will wish
himself back in England.
An admission price was charged to hear
the eulogy, and the amount realized was
about $1,000 Maj. Pond, who brought
DR.. Parker over here on lecture tour, said
that he proposed to donate the proceeds of
the eulogy to the Beecher monumental fund,
and the Plymouth congregation focked to
the Academy Of Music in Brooklyn to hear
and see the great English preacher Not
utlA ttS hdNo pulu W SSt
hear him if they had not believed they were
helping to build monument to Beecher.
Maj. Pond proposes to keep his contract
that is, after he pays all expenses he will
turn over the balance of the eulogy receipts
to the monument fund--when he gets ready.
There will not be much to turn over how
ever. The expenses, it is said, were very
heavy, and DR.. Parker got more than a
third of the whole amount.
The newspapers which said fattering
things about DR.. Parker when he first came
to this country, now say that he is here ION
the make.n He sold his manuscript of the
eulogy for $3.50, making $3.50 in all which
he received for it, The Plymouth church
people paid his board while in New York,
and so his eulogy money was clear gain.
The good doctor now wants to sell an in
terview which he proposes TO have with Mr.
Gladstone on his return to England, but the
newspapers don't seem to want it. The tone
of most of the New York papers indi-
Gates that they have had enough of DR..
Parker. For his part he declares
that he has had enough of the "in-
fernal press" of this country How loving
were the relations between the doctor and
the press when he first landed from England,
and how strained they are now There will
be no tears shed when the doctor departs for
home

HIS FIRST VIEW OF THE CITY.
A Rural New Highlander Sees Nothing
but Bricks in Boston.


From the Providence Journal
Way back in the interior, in little red house
with blinking windows and a generous drab
stone chimney, lives pretty nice old gentleman
of "a years. Sometimes he comes into the little
village of Phenix, and one day recently while
here remarked that he never had been in Boston
or New York, or. in fact, any city but the
pigmy railway station. Some of the old mans
friends thought that if one had to die with
out seeing either New York or Boston he would
have to take seat without cushion in the bet
ter world; so two of them asked him the
other day: Uncle Dave. don't you want to go
up to Boston," - ey?'' answered the old gen
tleman. go up to Boston," restated the in
quirer. what for?" ITO see the sights of
big city," replied the young man.
They offered to pay Uncle Dawes expenses, so
one day this week he went to the gaseous city
when he stepped out of the cars into the airy
Boston station, and as he walked up Washing
ton street he remarked: Boys, it must be
sicky here in Boston; there's an awful lot of
doctor signs hung out" They walked him all
around, showing him all the points of interest
and besides "Dutellr' and ''Want to known
the boys elected nothing from him, so finally
one said: "Uncle Dave, what do you think of
what you We seen so far:" Seem said the old
man, sadly; Il amt seen nothing; I've kept
looking and looking, hoping we would get by
they're all four or five stories high Let's go
some place where we can see something, boys,
'cept bricks and stones And on his return he
stopped in the village store and remarked he
guessed Boston is a nice town if anybody had
chance to see any of it,"

The Indemnity Lands.

According to our dispatches one Of the
most Important features of the forthcoming
report of Mr. Lamar, the Secretary of the
Interior, will be that relating to the part
which the department has taken within the
last few months with respect TO the public
lands set apart for indemnity purposes.
The Republican party, during the time it
was in power, granted vast tracts of land,
in some instances equal in area to some of
the most populous of the States, to
railroad companies. II not only did
this. but it withdrew other vast
tracts adjacent to these grants from
settlement, with which to indemnify the
companies which obtained the original
grants for any losses they might sustain of
lands within the granted limits. When the
Democratic party came into power it found
that settlers, without good reason, were
shut out from many millions of acres of the
finest lands in the world. In some instances
the original grantors had not earned their
grants, and in others they had wholly failed
to comply with their contracts, and if they
had not disappeared they were in bankrupt
condition. In few, if any, instances had
an effort been made to discover whether
any of the companies were entitled to in
dennity lands. The companies, however,
claimed the indemnity lands, and their
agents kept watch over them and warned
settlers off of them. They hoped in some
way to get possession Of them.
The attention of the President was called
to this condition of affairs and he was quick
to see the abuses which were being fostered
by the laws which Republican Congress
had passed, and which Republican admins
trations took no steps to remedy. The
Guilford Miller case was bought
to his notice, and having the
advice and cooperation of the Secretary of
the Interior he made a ruling in it which,
being accepted as precedent, the Secretary
has followed to the extent of releasing more
than 81 10000 of acres from indemnity re-
strictions. The President took the ground
that as these indemnity lands were with
drawn from settlement by Executive au-
thority, they could be reopened to settle
ment by the same authority.
Mr.. Lamar will be remembered in the In
terror Department for his connection with
the indemnity lands, and when the history
of Mr.. Cleveland's administration is written
there will be no page of it that will reflect
more credit upon him than that which
records his action in giving back to the
people the vast tracts Of fertile lands of
which the Republican party had deprived
them.

The Cow as Transmitter of Disease.
From the London Lancet.


The transmission from the COW to man of
scarlet fever and tuberculosis was the subject of
the opening address of Prof Hamilton at Mari
schal Cottage, Aberdeen, in which the lecturer
gave an excellent account of the investigation
conducted by Mr.. Power and DR.. Klein into the
relation Of a COW malady to scarlet fever in
man. He referred also to the observations of
Cop land who believed that both the dog and
the horse could suffer from the latter affection,
and stated that febrile condition of some kind
can be communicated to animals by inoculating
them with the blood of persons who are the
subjects o scarlet fever. He further expressed
the opinion that tubercle could be conveyed to
man by means of milk from tuberculous cows
While the possibility of such occurrence can not
be denied it must be borne in mind that Klein
has pointed out that there are certain important
differences between bovine and human tuber-
culosis and again, Creighton has shown that
man occasionally suffers from a form of this
disease which resembles the bovine malady,
making it probable that by far the greater
number of cases are not of bovine origin
Nevertheless the subject deserves much greater
investigation. and certainly every effort should
be made to prevent the distribution of milk
from tuberculouS COWS.

An Original Wedding service.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
An oldtime resident Of the pleasant city Of
Madison relates n story that has flavor Of
originality, One of the early judges of Madison,
Dawson Blackmore, was called upon shortly
after his election to perform marriage cere-
mony at a private residence. The notice was
brief, and the Judge prepared for the event by
studying the marriage ceremony In the Metho
memory, he placed the book in his pocket to
refer to If necessary. When the bridal party APP
peared before him he had forgotten every word
of the ceremony, and feeling In his coat pocket
for the book found it was gone. A local wag
had removed it. But the Judge was equal to
the occasion. Assuming an unusual degree Of
judicial dignity he said; Hold up your right
hands, you and each OF you do solemnly swear
you will perform the duties of husband and wife
to the best of your abilities, so help you God ?
pronounce you man and wife,"

Mr.. Cleveland's newspaper opponents
among Democrats have about concluded to
stop their foolishness. The New York Sun
which was his most powerful enemy during
the campaign, has lately concluded to jump
over to the Presidents side; the World be-
gan bitter fight against him a year ago.
but has since been willing to make truce;
the Courier-Jour7soL pitched into him quite
vigorously some time ago, but soon saw that
he was too strong to oppose; the Augusta
Chronicle engaged in little war on him,
but it says nothing now; the Macon TeIe-
graph gave him, at best, a negative support
during the campaign, and was not very en-
thusiastic afterward, but the new manage
agement has stopped all of that. Another
interesting aspect is that in Mr.. Cleveland's
State the papers that opposed him have lost
circulation.

Opposition to Immis

Opposition to Immigrants Growing.
The activity of Anarchists and Socialists
in different parts of the country is creating
a sentiment against immigration. It is not
long since it was very unusual thing
to hear a public speech against immigration,
or to see anything in the newspapers against
it, Now, however, there is good deal said
against it. A few nights ago Prof. Rich
mond M. Smith, in lecture before the
Academy of Political Sciences of the Co
lumbia College, declared that this country
had enough immigrants from Europe, and
that to continue to receive them would be
hurtful rather than helpful to the country
He said that already "a per cent. of the en-
tire population of the country was of either
foreign or mixed foreign and native par
entage.
The Rev. Heber Newton, the sensational
Episcopalian clergyman of New York, had
a word to say about immigrants in his ser
mon last Sunday morning. Among other
things he said; 1--WE are everlasting our
national powers Of assimilating the raw ma
terials of citizenship. No country on earth
ever attempted to make citizens ON such a
wholesale scale. We have thrown open our
doors to the rich and the poor, the true
and the untrue, the powerful and the op-
pressed, the ignorant and the educated, the
pauper and the criminal Wedare not con-
tinue this foolish essay further unless we
want to load our blood with the undigested
matter which breeds the fevers of anarchy.
We do not need and we dare not safely keep
on welcoming shoals of the most ignorant
peoples of Europe browning with the fran
chise the lazaroni of Italy and the settings
of races utterly alien to our institutions"
There is some truth in what the Rev Mr..
Newton says, but it is probable that we can
continue to assimilate all who come, provid-
ed there are no paupers, criminals. lepers, or
cholera-infected subjects among them. The
doors of the nation ought certainly be shut
against the classes named. As for
Anarchists, if they don't obey the laws,
they will be dealt with as those in Chicago
were. The laws are strong enough to pro-
tect society against AnarchiSm and
Socialism.
There are good many foreigners in this
country but, as a general thing, they
quickly become good citizens and good
Americans They have helped to make the
country what it is and their children know
no other country than this. The time has
not yet come to shut out immigrants. 1t
may never come
